1963 Map of Shaeffer Ranch

About this map

The ranchlands of the Jim Wells and Duval County border are defined by a complex network of intermittent water sources and working livestock infrastructure as they appeared in the early 1960s. Shaeffer Ranch serves as a central landmark in a landscape dotted with essential water features like Mule Tank, Salado Tank, and Javalina Tank. The significance of water management is further highlighted by the Chiltipin Dam No 1 and numerous windmills, including the Blanca Windmill and Romera Windmill, which sustained the area's cattle operations.
